Author Information

Gunjan Sharma is a faculty member at the School of Education Studies (SES), Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD), since 2011. She teaches courses at the research, postgraduate, undergraduate, and professional development levels, in the areas of education studies, education policy, teacher education, curriculum studies, child rights, and action research. Her research and professional focus is on education policy-politics particularly at school and teacher education levels. Her doctoral research examined educational aspirations in the urban margins in a post Right to Education Act context in India. During 2016-17, she completed her Fulbright-Nehru Postdoctoral research on policy implications of publication networks in teacher education in the US and India while exploring teacher education as a special sub-set of higher education. Dr. Sharma has worked with various government and non-government organisations on matters of education policy and has served in various capacities on the national level teacher education policy framing process in India.
